“You go to Heaven once you’ve been to Hell.”

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as a secret to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.

Only one thing made him happy and now that it was gone everything made him happy.

We are not mad. We are human. We want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark, and we are ardent and cruel in our journey.

My abandoned narcotics have abandoned me.

I am not the one who loved, it’s love that chooses me.

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armor themselves against wonder.

I’m planning a catastrophe.

I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you, I’m glad you stood in my way.

First of all, nothing will happen and a little later nothing will happen again.

I dreamed about you baby. It was just the other night. Most of you were naked Ah, but some of you was light.

I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece.

I ache in the places where I used to play.

It’s hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.

Then let’s be quiet together.

How bitter were the Prozac pills of the last few hundred mornings?

Well, I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.

Moon is the light from a lantern in heaven.

Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.

A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to Heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.

Old habits die hard, so fill up my cup and let’s raise hell in heaven.

Autocracy cannot do without its twin agents: a hangman and a priest, the first to suppress popular resistance by force, the second to sweeten and embellish the lot of the oppressed with empty promises of a heavenly kingdom.

Those who have not found the heaven below, will fail of it above.

I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world,the kids, our national pastime.

God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.
